A Guatemala citizen, Carlos Aguilar Reynoso, sat in a Long Island court on Monday, March 23, as prosecutors outlined sickening new details of his alleged babysitting sex attack on a young girl he left needing surgery.
The 27-year-old was babysitting a 5-year-old girl while her mother was at work on Feb. 1, 2026.
Rather than care for the child as he was being paid to, he allegedly violently raped the girl, leaving her bleeding and suffering from internal injuries, Suffolk County prosecutors told the court Monday.
“When the victim’s mother returned from work — the victim told her mother that ‘her private parts hurt,’” Assistant District Attorney Sean Murphy said as Reynoso stood emotionless, blankly staring ahead.
“Believing that her child may have soiled herself, she took her to the bathroom to change — when she noticed her underwear was soaked in blood,” Murphy said.
The child then told her mom what the babysitter did to her, prosecutors said.
The child was then rushed to the Peconic Bay Medical Centre in Riverhead where doctors found internal injuries and a tear in her private regions, prosecutors said.
She was then transferred by ambulance to Cohen Children’s Medical Centre in New Hyde Park, where she had to undergo emergency surgery, according to prosecutors.
Police arrested Reynoso just one day later, though not easily as he resisted the cops attempts to detain him, Murphy revealed.
He was nearly let loose back on the streets due to a combination of lax state bail laws and sanctuary policies.
Reynoso was initially charged with endangering the welfare of a child, which isn’t bail eligible in the Empire State. ICE would have been barred from picking him up because of the state’s sanctuary policies but investigators issued the alleged pervert a desk-appearance ticket so he would be processed and released.
The federal agents then cuffed him on his way out of the precinct, sources said.
Reynoso, who used an interpreter in court, barely moved during the proceeding, and only spoke once, responding with “yeah,” when asked if he understood what was happening.
He is charged with a laundry list of sex crimes, including first-degree rape and predatory sexual assault against a child, and is facing 25 years to life in prison.
The alleged paedophile was remanded without bail and is due back in court April 27.
In a related development, a 12-year-old boy appeared in a UK court after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 60s, leaving her seriously injured.
The woman was found in a property north of Birmingham city centre at around 6.15pm on March 18, bleeding heavily from several wounds and barely conscious, a court heard on Tuesday.
The woman was lying on the floor, naked apart from a t-shirt, with cuts to her chest and face, prosecutor Colin Charvill told Birmingham Youth Court.
She remains in hospital in a serious condition, having been placed in an induced coma.
A boy aged 12 has been charged with sexual assault and wounding, as well as an offence of theft on the same day and intentional strangulation in relation to an alleged incident on February 11.
The defendant, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, appeared in court today where he indicated pleas of not guilty to all of the charges.
He was remanded to youth detention accommodation by District Judge David Murray ahead of an appearance at Birmingham Crown Court on April 21.
West Midlands Police said in a statement: ‘Our enquiries remain ongoing, but we understand how concerning this will be within the community.
‘Our officers will be continuing to provide reassurance in the local area.
‘If anyone has any information regarding suspicious behaviour on 18 March or in the days leading up to last Wednesday, details can be submitted via the Major Incident Public Portal or via 101 quoting log 4888 of 18 March.’
